iwevents – Track Wireless events on the Wireless interfaces on your system

iwevents is yet another linux utility which helps track any events related to the Wireless Interfaces on the network. iwevents can monitor for events related to the settings of the interfaces itself. For instance, a change to the encryption key, ESSID etc done via iwconfig command or events related to the hardware itself like the device joining a new Wireless network, scan completion (using iwlist), packet dropped, driver event, node registration, node expiration.

Simply run the command without any arguements. In the following example, I simply switched off my Wireless Router and restarted again to trigger some events.
